I don't like it at all. I've given it a while to see if I get used to it but I am afraid I can't. Every single time I wonder what's going on before I realise I am not reading the head post. Isn't it possible to just go back to how it once was? _________________________ "u.v.ray is an uncompromising writer who glares at the world with bloodshot eyes.

For me, if there are no unread messages and I click on the subject, it drops me at the start of the thread. If there are unread posts, the same click takes me to the first unread one. (I use flat mode.) Works fine, and makes sense to me. -Chess

Even if I haven't read the head post it takes me to the last reply posted, and it doesn't make sense to me. _________________________ "u.v.ray is an uncompromising writer who glares at the world with bloodshot eyes.

If it has been a while since anyone posted,(such as in an older thread brought back up) I find I have to go back to the first post and remind myself of what was said earlier. It used to be, the original post would come up and you could click on the area that says jump to the first unread post. That worked well, I could skim the first post to see if I wanted to continue on with the thread. Oh well. I guess it would be very hard to please everyone.

Perhaps if there were an option in account settings like there is for the default to be flat mode or threaded mode. _________________________ 'We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!' -- Col.

Barb CoS Member Registered: 04/09/05 Posts: 587	I find it easiest to just scroll down to where it shows the page numbers and then click on “show all” after clicking on the thread subject, or I click on the “all” option that is in parenthesis in the box where the subject is (if there is more than one page to it). Then the whole thread shows up, starting at the beginning (in flat mode, which is my preference). No big deal to me. _________________________ "... it is much more gratifying to change your own world than the whole world." ~Magistra Ygraine "Life is the great indulgence-death the great abstinence.
